Display unit

Abstract

The invention relates to a display unit comprising a first display ( 3 ) with a dial face ( 4 ) and a pointer ( 5 ). In front of said first display ( 3 ), on the side facing the observer, a second display ( 7 ) is disposed and is transparent when not activated. Said second display is adapted to display information and is configured as a self-emitting display with negative representation. The second display ( 7 ) is a structural component that comprises an organic light-emitting substance (OLED).

1 . Display unit, especially for a motor vehicle, which has a first, analog, display with a dial and a pointer and a second, digital, display, which, when actuated appropriately, is visible to the observer from the same angle as that in which the dial is visible, characterized in that the second display ( 7 ) is a transparent display, which, from the perspective of the observer, is located in front of and parallel to the plane of the dial ( 4 ) and is designed as a self-emitting display for presenting information.  
     
     
         2 . Display unit according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the display is designed to present information in negative fashion.  
     
     
         3 . Display unit according to  claim 1  or  claim 2 , characterized in that the second display ( 7 ) has an organic light-emitting substance.  
     
     
         4 . Display unit according to at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the second display ( 7 ) has a polymer.  
     
     
         5 . Display unit according to at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that, from the perspective of the observer, the second display ( 7 ) is located in front of the pointer ( 5 ) and thus also forms the cover glass at the same time.  
     
     
         6 . Display unit according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the second display ( 7 ) is made of plastic and has at least one opening.  
     
     
         7 . Display unit according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the second display ( 7 ) is located directly in front of the dial ( 4 ), and in that the pointer ( 5 ) consists of a transparent, organic light-emitting material and is located in front of the second display ( 7 ).  
     
     
         8 . Display unit according to at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the graphics of the dial ( 4 ) are translucent, and in that transmittent illumination ( 6 ) is provided behind the dial ( 4 ).  
     
     
         9 . Display unit according to  claim 8 , characterized in that the transmittent illumination ( 6 ) is in the form of a 2-dimensional, organic light-emitting component.  
     
     
         10 . Display unit according to at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the translucent dial ( 4 ) is tinted dark.  
     
     
         11 . Display unit according to at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the second display ( 7 ) only partially covers the dial ( 4 ).
